Outside my window…

I am thinking…
about my father-in-law. He was a scout for Patton and participated in the campaign in Africa and Italy before being in the second wave in Normandy. His group suffered heavy casualties when a bomb burst overhead. When they went around collecting the dog tabs after the battle, someone went to grab his and noticed that he was still a live. He was saved and was able to recover enough to get married and have 9 children – one of which was my husband, Mr. Pete.

I am thankful…
for the observant eye of the man pulling the dog tags!

I am pondering…

Before the holiday, two of Mr. Pete’s cousins cleaned up the grave sites of all five brothers and made sure to plant some flowers!  They do this every year and I think that is such a beautiful tradition.

I am hearing…
the air conditioner

In the kitchen…

Mr. Pete cooked ribs all day on the grill for Memorial Day.  I’ve got to figure out the rest of the week. I’m thinking quiche for Tuesday night.

I am wearing…

I am going…

  • to walk or work out every day with Pfilates . 
  • to cut my carbs via the Wheat Belly Total Health: The Ultimate Grain-Free Health and Weight-Loss Life Plan recommendations – no more than 15 grams of carbs per meal.
  • to practice a piece that I will play with the choir next week.
  • call my June bride and get set up for that wedding  – because I put it off last week!
  • Pick out music for my new concert. 
  • Pick out next year’s curriculum for Rosie.

    A quote to share…


    “Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but – I hope – into a better shape.” 
    ― Charles DickensGreat Expectations
